About NYCCS

The New York Center for Computational Sciences (NYCCS) assists industry in the Long
Island region, New York City and New York State in the utilization of
high performance computing to gain a competitive edge in product development and data management that translates into
job creation, cost savings and job retention.

NYCCS is a joint
venture between Stony Brook
University's Institute for Advanced Computational Science and Brookhaven
National Laboratory's Computational Science Center. These centers have a core
group of scientists and faculty who work to apply and develop high
performance computing for science. They have a mission to support and expand the community of
users of high performance computing for science discovery and technology
development.

High Performance Computing Resources

The Center's Blue Gene/P has one rack and can run threaded
code. The Center also hosts two Blue Gene/Q research supercomputers: a
one-rack IBM Blue Gene/Q for general purpose research that boasts 16 cores
per compute node, links together 16384 processors, runs threaded code,
has total peak performance of 200 teraflop, and placed fifth on the June
2012 Graph 500 benchmark list; and a two-rack IBM Blue Gene/Q for use by
the BNL Riken Research Center.

The Brookhaven Computational Science Center
(CSC) brings together researchers in biology, chemistry, physics and
medicine with applied mathematicians and computer scientists to take
advantage of the new opportunities for scientific discovery made
possible by modern computers.
